I had the honour to meet Joe K1JT on air at 20m JT9 this evening. Joe is the inventor of WSJT (Weak Signal JT) digital modes. The WSJT mode software he gives us for free has been changing amateurradio forever. Who ever had thought of working the world with this mode is easy 10 years ago? Even for modest stations. I think this mode will be very populair in the next few years with low propagation. Not many people know that I had a influence on the software as I
wrote Joe in 2009 answering his e-mail. Actually I think The text in "tab 2" above the buttons was my idea to clarify the difference between calling and answering. In the mean time WSJT-X can now be controlled via the HRD cat system, one of the features I liked to see. Joe, if you ever read this, thanks very much for this great digital mode, your my HAMradio hero. And of course thanks for the QSO...
